Tourism Alumni Help Out

Capilano College is proud that its
alumni are eager to help the College
further its mission and goals, and the
alumni of the Tourism Management
Program have demonstrated just
how valuable a resource alumni can
be.

For the past four years, the Tour-
ism Alumni Dinner Committee has
coordinated an annual fund-raising
alumni dinner for the Tourism
Management Program.

Nov. 19, 1993 marked the fourth
annual event, which raised more
than $1,600 to purchase books for the

Patrick Olenick

Tourism library collection. These
dinners have raised almost $6,000 for
the Alumni Tourism Management
Bursary during the past three years.
Kudos to everyone involved!

The blueprint for success of this
event this year was
straightforward.
Alumni, students,
faculty, advisory
committee mem-
bers, co-op employ-
ers and industry
friends were invited.
The evening in-

' cluded cocktails,
dinner, a guest

- speaker (Mr. Pat

| Corbet, president

| and chairman of the
| Council of Tourism
Associations of
B.C.), entertainment,
networking, information exchange
and a chance to win some valuable
door prizes.

The fabulous Capilano College
Jazz Quartet provided entertain-
ment. A highlight of the evening was
a silent auction. The committee
solicited prizes from various busi-
nesses to be auctioned off during the
evening. Everyone enjoyed them-
selves immensely and at the same time
made a donation to their alma mater.

The Resource Development office
plans to strengthen alumni relations
at Cap by creating an Alumni Focus
Group. If you would like informa-
tion about it, please call Patrick at loc.
2765 or drop by his office, A-010B.
